More standardization skullduggery
As a follow-up to the May/June Micro Law column on abuse of the standard-setting process, I now turn to Rambus' version of the previously summarized Secret Squirrel saga. A jury in Richmond, Virginia, found that with the aid of a secret informant (...
Java Use in Mobile Information Devices: Introducing JTRON
Using java, next-generation mobile devices can serve as highly functionally distributed systems. The JTRON specification achieves real-time performance in java-based mobile systems.
Cached DRAM for ILP Processor Memory Access Latency Reduction
Cached DRAM adds a small cache onto a DRAM chip to reduce average DRAM access latency. The authors compare cached DRAM with other advanced dram techniques for reducing memory access latency in instruction-level-parallelism processors.
Data Cache and Direct Memory Access in Programming Mediaprocessors
Mediaprocessors provide high performance by using both instruction- and data-level parallelism. Because of the increased computing power, transferring data between off- and on-chip memories without slowing down the core processor's performance is ...
